EKw YORK, February 17.-Foreign advices
this morning gave evidence Of a subsistence
of the war scare, and both cOnsols and
French rentes were higher. The reserve OF
the Bank Of England shows a further in
crease this week. and. if we could only see
anv evidence Of quick revival in specula-
ton on the part of the general public, wo
see nothing to prevent us having higher
prices for good stocks but until this comes
we must expect dull and dragging market,
which may, however, have the affect OF in
creasing the short interest, which is already
very considerable. There was somewhat
more activity late in the day, but nothing Of
a particularly new character transpired, and
the market closed dull and featureless.

Ruskn and Carlyle were for many years
the two mentors of England in matters

their sore spots, but Carlyle had gruf and

long ceased to build to any other deity. lie
